US MX250 build
I wanted to update and recap my MX250 build. I’m a teacher at a local Career and Technical high school, and I’ve been using it as a project for the students to work on. Unfortunately, it was in quarantine for over 6 months during the shutdown. Thankfully, we are back working on it!
http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1748 I found this beat up but solid ‘92 for $500. It was the perfect donor since it had light body damage in the front and rear. The story goes, the owner was following his wife and rear ended her causing her to hit the car in front of her. Needless to say, they got divorce shortly afterwards. 😉 http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1750 At the Center being brought back to life... http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1747 On the frame straightener http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1749 In primer |

Rear section bonded
A small update:
Rear body section is fully bonded to the chassis. Good, bad or indifferent, it will NEVER come off! http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1822 Seem between fiberglass and chassis http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1824 Fingers cut to allow better fitment http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1823 Fiberglass resin and cloth to fill the seem http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...pictureid=1825 I'm really digging this view :badgrin: |
Paint!
